\"R51-BeautyShot\"<\/a>This afternoon, when Bat got home from school, I was cleaning the Remington R 51 pistol. It was a little dirty from the range session today. Bat said he wanted to learn to take it apart and put it back together. So, I showed him and he did it on his own about five times.<\/p>\n

The disassembly and reassembly of the Remington R 51 is unique compared to other pistols in its class. In fact, it is unique compared to most other pistols. But you are not going to learn anything about that in this video so let me apologize for the quality and lack of information up front.\u00a0Bat only had about an hour before his game this evening and his game is the reason I\u2019m not at SHOT this week. But, as you see, I am still working, well, kind of working.<\/p>\n

At any rate, I was telling him about how we were timed on disassembly and reassembly of the 1911 in the Army . Bat wanted me to time him and video his performance.\u00a0The only real takeaways from this short clip is that, as different as the disassembly and assembly of the R 51 is, its not hard. Like Bat says, \u201cIts so easy even a kid can do it.\u201d You can also see that he is as rough on guns as I am which is why he is faithful testing assistant.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: After Bat’s game he wanted to try for a record. His fastest disassembly was 9.61 seconds. Assembly: 17.55 seconds.<\/p>\n\n
